About Supersoft

Holst Garn Supersoft is a yarn with loads of character. A woollen spun blend of 50% Merino and 50% Shetland wool, it has a lovely elasticity and that wonderfully woolly, textured quality that gives the finished fabric a genuinely beautiful, rustic feel. The Merino brings softness and warmth, while the Shetland adds structure and durability - together they make a yarn that can be worn against the skin and trusted to keep it's shape and structure wear after wear. Being woollen spun, it's wonderfully light and airy, with the kind of bounce and resilience that makes it a pleasure to work with row after row. The melange dyeing process - where the fibres are dyed before being blended and spun - gives many of the colourways a gorgeous depth and richness that solid yarns simply can't replicate. The palette is broad and inspiring, spanning both clean solids and those beautifully heathered shades that are so hard to resist. Each 50g cake ball gives a very generous 287m / 314y, making it a brilliant and affordable choice for sweaters, shawls, and anything else that deserves a bit of quality.

About Holst Garn

Holst Garn is a Danish yarn brand born from the passion and long‑held knitting experience of founder Helle Holst, who created the company to fill a gap she felt in the yarn world — offering makers high‑quality natural fibres in an extensive palette of colours at accessible prices. The brand’s roots are in Aabybro, Denmark, and its philosophy centres on making yarns by knitters, for knitters, with a focus on materials that are versatile, inspiring, and enjoyable to knit or crochet.

Holst Garn’s range includes beloved bases such as Supersoft, a classic non‑superwash blend of Merino and Shetland wool that blooms and softens beautifully after washing, as well as light and summery blends like Coast, combining Merino lambswool with cotton for soft, breathable projects. The company sources fibres from trusted, ethical suppliers and works with spinning partners around the world to match each yarn with the optimal production process.

Appreciated for both its broad colour offerings and its quality‑to‑value ratio, Holst Garn has grown from a local hobby project into an internationally enjoyed brand, beloved by makers who want yarns that are reliable, expressive, and ready to become cherished handmade garments and accessories.

Why you'll love Commercially Dyed Yarn

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

Care Instructions

Items made from 100% Wool should be washed by hand in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle rinse-free detergent. Use very little agitation when washing so as not to felt or full the fabric. Never wring or twist handmade woollen items when washing.
Gently squeeze as much water as possible, roll in a towel and press moisture out. Then lay your finished piece flat to dry.

Wool does not need to be washed after every wear as it is a natural, breathable product. When you can see (or, rarely, smell) that a woollen item is in need of washing, follow the above instructions
